NEW YORK (Jul. 23)

The American Jewish Congress this week-end pledged its “unstinting support to our government at the United Nations in meeting the challenge of aggression in Korea,” in a statement issued by Rabbi Irving Miller, president of the A.J.C.

Rabbi Miller also charged that the so-called peace petition now being circulated in many parts of the world have “their source in that power which has planned and executed the breach of peace in Korea” and “are designed to exploit mankind’s natural love of peace in order to break down resistance to planned totalitarian aggression.” Rabbi Miller’s statement was approved by the national executive committee of the A.J.C.
